I was always a firm believer in being totally honest. Usually at that age you can give a brief quick answer without going into too many details but I'd rather have them learn the truth from me than find out I lied. My 13 year old still comes to me with things of that nature and I'm glad I started the conversations when he was too young to know how uncomfortable I was. There were many things I wish he wouldn't ask but ultimately, I was glad he came to me and not his friends and if I wanted that to continue, I needed to be honest with him. |
